03-27-16 | Notre Dame v. North Carolina -10 | Top | 74-88 | Win | 102 | 12 h 31 m | Show |
Notre Dame vs. North Carolina 8:49 PM ET Play On: North Carolina -10.0 (10*) Notre Dame has been somewhat lucky in their magic ride to the “Elite 8”. Their first three NCAA Tournament wins have come by just a combined 13 points. They’ve also been very fortunate in regards to what teams they’ve faced. Despite their #6 seed, Notre Dame has played against three opponents with higher seeds in #11 Michigan, #14 Stephen F. Austin, and #7 Wisconsin. They had to overcome a 12 point halftime deficit versus Michigan, and eventually won by 7. “The Fighting Irish” needed an offensive tap in with only 1.5 seconds left to win by 1 against Stephen F. Austin. During the Regional Semifinal against Wisconsin on Friday, Notre Dame came back from a late 5 point deficit to defeat Wisconsin by 5 in a game that was much closer than even the final score indicates. North Carolina’s last two wins over Providence by 19 and by 15 against Indiana were especially impressive considering the quality of those opponents. They shot a blistering hot 52.1% in those contests, and had a massive 79-56 rebounding edge. The Tar Heels have been getting better as the tournament has progressed, and that’s not good for future opponents starting with Notre Dame. North Carolina has gone a perfect 8-0 SU&ATS in its last eight games as a favorite of 11.5 or less. You can’t help but think, the 31 point blowout loss Notre Dame sustained at the hands of North Carolina a little over two weeks ago, certainly will have a lingering effect. A strong case can be made that North Carolina has faced tougher opponents than Notre Dame has in this tournament, and specifically so over the past two rounds. Play on North Carolina minus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

03-27-16 | Syracuse +8 v. Virginia | 68-62 | Win | 100 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
Syracuse vs. Virginia 6:09 PM ET Play On: Syracuse +8.0 (5*) Syracuse played Virginia extremely tough on the road in these ACC rivals only meeting of the season. They were on the short end of a 73-65 final score in Charlottesville. However, it was a one possession game with inside two minutes left to play. The Orange just couldn’t convert on the offensive end, and then were forced to foul in an attempt to extend the game. They covered the contest as a 9.5 point underdog despite Virginia shooting 56%. As of today, that was the best any team has shot against Syracuse all season. On a positive note, the Orange was 13-30 (43.3%) from three point range in that loss at Virginia. Syracuse has allowed a paltry 53.7 points per game, and held its opponents to meager 34.9% shooting during the first three rounds of NCAA Tournament action. Their vaunted 2-3 zone defense has been active, and they’ve received considerably improved play from its big men. Virginia has garnered a reputation as being a very good defensive team and rightfully so. That really hasn’t been the case in their previous two NCAA Tourney wins over Butler and Iowa State. The Cavaliers allowed 70.0 points per game while allowing those two opponents to shoot 49.1%. Play on Syracuse plus the points for a 5* wager. |
|||||||
03-26-16 | Villanova v. Kansas -2 | Top | 64-59 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 54 m | Show |
Villanova vs. Kansas 8:49 PM ET Play On: Kansas -2.0 (10*) You can’t play much better than Villanova has in their first three NCAA Tournament games, going 3-0 ATS, winning by an average of 24.0 points per game, and covering by a combined 44.5 points. That’s especially been the case on the offensive end of the floor. The Wildcats have averaged 88.3 points scored per outing and also shot a blistering hot 59.9%. However, Kansas will be far and away the best defensive team they’ve seen not only in the NCAA Tourney, but arguably better than they’ve faced all season. The Jayhawks have held opponents to 39.7% shooting, and also allowed them to make only 32.3% of its three point tries this season. These teams have played one common opponent this season and that was the Oklahoma Sooners. Kansas defeated Oklahoma twice and Villanova sustained a 23 point blowout loss to the Sooners. The Jayhawks enter this Regional Final on Saturday having won 17 games in a row, and have been an extremely profitable 14-3 ATS (82.4%) during that stretch. Play on Kansas for a 10* Top Play wager. |

03-26-16 | Oklahoma v. Oregon -1.5 | 80-68 | Loss | -106 | 6 h 26 m | Show | |
Oklahoma vs. Oregon 6:09 PM ET Play On: Oregon -1.5 (5*) I sometimes toss aside all handicapping logic when it comes to games of this magnitude, and trust my own personal eye test. This qualifies as one of those situations. I’m fully aware that Oklahoma is a very experienced team, and most times than not that pays huge dividends in the NCAA Tournament. However, I’ve really been impressed with the overall game of Oregon during “The Big Dance”. I feel they’re more diversified defensively than Oklahoma, and in my eyes clearly the better rebounding team. Oregon is allowing 61.3 points per outing, holding opponents to 39.8% shooting, and possesses a +8.0 rebound per game differential in NCAA Tourney action. The Ducks enter today’s West Regional Final on a eleven game win streak, and the previous six have all come on a neutral floor. Play on Oregon for a 5* wager. |
|||||||
03-25-16 | Indiana +5 v. North Carolina | 86-101 | Loss | -106 | 11 h 48 m | Show | |
Indiana vs. North Carolina 9:55 PM ET Play On: Indiana +5.0 (5*) North Carolina was a bit fortunate against Providence in terms of defending the three point line. The Friars missed several wide open looks from beyond the three point line. They’ll be flirting with disaster if they allow those uncontested opportunities to occur against Indiana. The Hoosiers aren’t only #2 nationally in offensive field goal percentage (50.5%) but also #5 in offensive three point shooting percentage (41.5%). North Carolina had the luxury of playing the first two rounds in Raleigh, and that’s just a 25 minute drive from their campus, and Philadelphia won’t afford them the same advantage. Indiana is one of a handful of teams nationally that can hold their own against North Carolina on the boards. North Carolina’s front line is more athletic compared to Indiana’s big men, but the Hoosiers are fundamentally sound in that area. The ability to knock down three point shots is the great equalizer for college basketball underdogs. Indiana unequivocally qualifies in that regard. Play on Indiana plus the points as a 5* wager. |
|||||||
03-25-16 | Gonzaga v. Syracuse +5 | Top | 60-63 | Win | 100 | 10 h 29 m | Show |
Syracuse vs. Gonzaga 9:40 PM ET Play On: Syracuse +5.0 (10*) Make no mistake about it Gonzaga has looked terrific in their two NCAA Tournament blowout wins over Seton Hall and Utah. However, Seton Hall is an extremely young team that was just coming off an emotional run in which they captured the Big East Conference Tournament title that culminated with upset wins against Villanova and Xavier. They were primed for a letdown just five days after accomplishing that unexpected success. The only PAC-12 team that’s had any success in this NCAA Tournament is Oregon, and that’s the same Ducks team which absolutely hammered Utah in the PAC-12 Tournament. Gonzaga will be facing an opponent tonight that’s been equally impressive in the first two rounds. Syracuse beat Dayton by 19 and Middle Tennessee State by 25. The Orange is playing with a chip on their shoulders after receiving so much criticism from national media member for even being invited to “The Big Dance”. They’ve be terrific defensively in the tournament thus far, allowing 50.5 points per game, and holding its opponents to a paltry 30.9% shooting. They’re vaunted 2-3 zone defense has been operating at a peak level, and it’s extremely difficult to simulate in a practice setting when preparing to face it. Syracuse’s big men have performed exceptionally well in the first two rounds, and can more than hold their own versus a Gonzaga team with a stellar interior presence. Play on Syracuse plus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |
|||||||
03-25-16 | Iowa State v. Virginia -6 | Top | 71-84 | Win | 100 | 8 h 56 m | Show |
Iowa State vs. Virginia 7:10 PM ET Play On: Virginia -6.0 (10*) Iowa State is a very good perimeter shooting team capable of putting up sizable offensive numbers. However, they’re frontline players are undersized leaving them vulnerable in the rebounding department. The Cyclones also have shortcomings defensively, and especially so when they face top quality opposition like they’ll be doing on Friday. Virginia can be one of the most frustrating teams to play against, and especially so if you haven’t faced them on a consistent basis. They play excellent defense, play at a methodical offensive pace and are very efficient in doing so. If the Cavaliers jump out to a sizable lead they’re one of the toughest teams in college basketball to mount a comeback against. Play on Virginia minus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |
|||||||
03-24-16 | Duke v. Oregon -3 | Top | 68-82 | Win | 100 | 24 h 34 m | Show |
Duke vs. Oregon 10:07 PM ET Play On: Oregon -3.0 (10*) The only advantage I see Duke having in this game is vastly superior NCAA Tournament history of success. I’ve long been concerned about Duke’s interior defense and rebounding. That was never more apparent than in their last season 76-72 home loss to North Carolina. The Tar Heels had a massive 64-29 rebounding advantage in that contest, and came out on top despite shooting an awful 35.6% from the floor. North Carolina had an off the charts 23 offensive rebounds in that contest, and killed Duke with its second chance opportunities. Duke has been on the short end of the rebounding department in nine of its last ten games. They’ve played two good halves of basketball in its pair of NCAA Tournament wins. They trailed NC-Wilmington by 3 at the half and came back to win by 8 in the opening round. Then nearly blew a 48-25 halftime lead, and staved off a furious Yale rally to hang on and win by 7 in round two. Oregon was tested and responded in a narrow 5 point win over a vastly underrated St. Joe’s team in round two. With the exception of its PAC-12 Tourney win over Arizona. Oregon has been a superb rebounding team during a current ten game win streak. Oregon has scored an average of 85.2 points per game and shot a stellar 47.9% during its previous five games. They’ll be facing an opponent tonight that allowed 79.6 points per game over their previous five games. Play on Oregon for a 10* Top Play wager. |
|||||||
03-24-16 | Texas A&M v. Oklahoma -2.5 | Top | 63-77 | Win | 100 | 21 h 54 m | Show |
Texas A&M vs. Oklahoma 7:37 PM ET Play On: Oklahoma -2.5 (10*) Texas A&M is extremely lucky to still be alive in this NCAA Tournament. They were able to overcome a 12 point deficit with just 44 seconds left to play to tie Northern Iowa, and ultimately win in double overtime last Sunday. It was the biggest meltdown in sports that I can recall since the Houston Oilers blew a 35-3 second half lead and lost to the Buffalo Bills in the playoffs. The Aggies had a great season under popular head coach Billy Kennedy. However this was an extremely down year for the SEC, and that was evidenced by just three of its teams being in the NCAA Tournament. Contrarily, Oklahoma had a stellar year as well, and the BIG-12 was one of the strongest conferences in the country this season. As a matter of fact, seven of their teams were invited to the tournament, and three are part of the “Sweet 16”. Star Oklahoma senior guard Buddy Hield is an absolute difference maker. Play on Oklahoma for a 10* Top Play wager. |
|||||||
03-22-16 | Creighton +4.5 v. BYU | 82-88 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 11 m | Show | |
Creighton @ BYU 9:00 Pm ET Play On: Creighton +4.5 (5*) Creighton has gone 2-0 SU&ATS in the NIT thus far, and they’ve been dominating in doing so. They held Alabama and Wagner to exactly 54 points, and those two opponents combined to shoot a pathetic 28.1% from the field. In addition, Creighton was a massive +32 in the rebounding department in those contests. Their offensive numbers in the NIT arent’t too shabby as well, averaging 79.5 points per game, and shooting a sizzling hot 52.2%. BYU could do no wrong offensively in its opening round 97-79 win over UAB. The Cougars shot a steamy 55.1% in that contest. However, they barely escaped in a second round 80-77 home win versus Virginia Tech, and were outrebounded by a wide 45-34 margin. They also shot just 42.1% against the Hokies. BYU may be without the services of senior star forward Austin Collingsworth this evening due to illness. If he can’t go that would be a huge loss for the Cougars. Collingsworth is averaging 15.3 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 7.6 assists per game. In the two NIT games, Collingsworth has averaged 18.5 points, 11.0 assists, and 8.0 rebounds per outing. He had a triple-double against UAB and a double/double versus Virginia Tech. It would be a difficult game with Collingsworth in the lineup against Creighton, let alone without him if indeed that’s the case. Play on Creighton plus the points for a 5* wager. |
|||||||
03-21-16 | Georgia Tech +4 v. South Carolina | Top | 83-66 | Win | 100 | 7 h 23 m | Show |
Georgia Tech @ South Carolina 7:00 PM ET Play On: Georgia Tech +4.0 (10*) I love the way Georgia Tech has played during this final stretch. They’ve gone 7-2 in their last nine games, and that includes an 81-62 blowout of Houston in the first round of the NIT. In addition, going 6-2 in its last eight games against ACC competition is nothing to take lightly. After all, the ACC has gone an outstanding 12-1 in the NCAA Tournament thus far, and advanced a record six teams to the “Sweet 16”. During that previously mentioned 7-2 stretch, Georgia Tech was dominant on the boards, compiling a superb +8.1 rebound per game differential. South Carolina began the season by going 15-0 against an extremely soft schedule, and then went 10-8 during their last 18 games. Despite finishing third in the SEC with an 11-7 record, they were passed over by the NCAA Tourney selection committee. In reality, this was a very down year for the SEC, and it was by far the weakest power conference in the country. They received three NCAA Tourney invites, just Texas A&M remains standing, and the Aggies needed a miracle comeback on Sunday against Northern Iowa to remain alive. The Gamecocks knocked off a vastly inferior opponent in the first round, decisively defeating High Point. They won’t be so fortunate tonight. Play on Georgia Tech plus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |
|||||||
03-21-16 | Duquesne +5.5 v. Morehead State | 72-82 | Loss | -106 | 5 h 4 m | Show | |
Duquesne @ Morehead State 7:00 PM ET Play On: Duquesne +5.5 (5*) Don’t be fooled by the disparities in the records of these two teams. Despite having just a 17-16 overall mark, Duquesne played in the much tougher Atlantic 10, while Morehead State (20-12) is from the Ohio Valley Conference. Duquesne is a dynamic offensive team, and that was apparent during their opening round 120-112 win over Nebraska-Omaha. The Dukes shot 62.7% in that contest, and has gone 50% or better in 3 of their last 4 games. That’s not good news for a Morehead State, considering they allowed its last two opponents to average 81.5 points per game, and shoot a scintillating 54.5% from the floor. Play on Duquesne plus the points for a 5* wager. |
|||||||
03-20-16 | St. Joe's +6.5 v. Oregon | 64-69 | Win | 100 | 12 h 18 m | Show | |
St. Joe’s vs. Oregon 9:40 PM ET Play On: St. Joe’s +6.5 (5*) Oregon had an absolute gift matchup in round one against a Holy Cross team that had no business being in the tournament, let alone making it to the “Round of 64”. The Ducks were a controversial #1 seed by the selection committee. Granted they were the regular season and conference tournament champions in the PAC-12. However, how good was the PAC-12 this season after all? They had seven teams be invited to the tournament, and six were eliminated in the first round. Oregon is now the sole survivor and bears the pressure of saving the conference of champions any further embarrassment. They will be in for a stern test today against a very underrated St. Joe’s team. The Atlantic 10 conference tourney champs have gone a perfect 8-0 SU&ATS in their last eight games as an underdog. Play on St. Joe’s plus the points for a 5* wager. |
|||||||
03-20-16 | Wisconsin v. Xavier -4.5 | Top | 66-63 | Loss | -104 | 11 h 5 m | Show |
Wisconsin vs. Xavier 8:40 PM ET Play On: Xavier -4.5 (5*) Wisconsin rallied from a 26-16 halftime deficit to defeat #10 seed Pittsburgh 47-43. Their 16 points scored during the first half was a NCAA Tournament all time record low. Wisconsin shot an awful 32.1% in that contest, and they’re now a combined 33-106 (31.1%) during its previous two games. Xavier was seemingly in control from start to finish during a workmanlike 71-53 win over #15 seed Weber State on Friday. The win improved the Musketeers overall record to a sparkling 28-5. The Musketeers shot a stellar 48.4% from the floor, and held a huge 43-28 rebounding advantage over Weber State. They also held the Wildcats to just 38.6% shooting for the game. I firmly believe that Xavier is way too deep from a personnel standpoint, much too athletic, and presents challenges that Wisconsin will have a difficult time coping with. Play on Xavier minus the points for a 5* wager. |
|||||||
03-20-16 | Iowa v. Villanova -6.5 | Top | 68-87 | Win | 100 | 14 h 36 m | Show |
Iowa @ Villanova 12:10 PM ET Play On: Villanova -6.5 (10*) Iowa is coming off a narrow escape in an opening round 72-70 overtime win as a 7.0 point favorite over #10 seed Temple. Despite that win they’ve gone 3-6 in their last nine and that includes a dismal 1-8 ATS in those contests. The Hawkeyes have been horrible offensively over their last five games shooting just 39.8% from the field. Villanova played with an attitude their first round 30 point destruction of NC-Asheville. It will be a pro Villanova crowd at the Barkley Center in Brooklyn. The Wildcats have shot 50.% and converted on 43.2% of its three point attempts over its last five games. They’re a very good defensive team as well allowing 63.5 points per game this season, and also holding its opponents to only 39.9% shooting. Play on Villanova minus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |
|||||||
03-19-16 | Providence v. North Carolina -9.5 | Top | 66-85 | Win | 100 | 13 h 52 m | Show |
Providence vs. North Carolina 9:40 PM ET Play On: North Carolina -9.5 Providence advanced with a heart throbbing last second 1 point win over USC on Thursday. Considering they only shot 40.3% in the win, and allowed USC to make 53.8% of their shots, it’s not a stretch whatsoever to deem Providence as being fortunate. The Friars were also a -4 in the rebounding department. Providence relies heavily on 6’4 star point guard Kris Dunn (16.0 PPG/6.3 APG/5.4 RPG) who was voted the Big East Player of the Year, and their leading scorer 6’9 power forward Ben Bentil (21.1 PPG/7.8 RPG). Providence has won five of its last six. However, two of those wins came over St. John’s ( Providence is capable of keeping this game tight for 30 minutes or so, but will likely be worn down by North Carolina’s overall depth. North Carolina will enter Saturday’s contest having won six games in a row, and appears to be hitting their stride at the most advantageous time to do so. They’re a deep and very balanced team that can’t hurt you in many different ways. North Carolina possesses a massive +8 rebound per game differential this season, and by all rights should dominate the glass tonight. The final kicker is the location of this game. The PNC Arena in Raleigh is a short 25 minute drive from North Carolina’s campus in Chappell Hill. For all intent and purposes, this basically will be a Tar Heels home game. Play on North Carolina minus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

03-19-16 | Arkansas-Little Rock +6.5 v. Iowa State | 61-78 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
UALR vs. Iowa State 6:10 PM ET Play On: UALR +6.5 (5*) Little Rock showed a lot of character and resilience by coming from 14 down with five minutes to play against a very good Purdue team. If you’ve followed this team at all this season, overcoming large deficits to win isn’t anything new. One thing for certain, Little Rock isn’t in awe of playing higher profile conference teams, and their resume this season confirms that. Besides Purdue, Little Rock owns road wins over San Diego State, Tulsa, and crushed DePaul. They’re also an excellent defensive team that allows just 60.3 points per game, in addition to an adept three point shooting squad that connects on 38.6% of its attempts. Those two assets always bode well when assessing underdog value. If they have a flaw, their front line is undersized, and they’re a mediocre at best rebounding team. Then again, that’s the same thing that can be said about Iowa State. Iowa State an excellent perimeter shooting team, but they’re suspect defensively, and can be exposed on that end of the floor. This is a game I see going right down to the wire, and one of which the underdog has a realistic chance to win outright. However, let’s not be foolish and take the points as an additional bonus. Play on Arkansas-Little Rock plus the points for a 5* wager. |

03-18-16 | Northern Iowa +4.5 v. Texas | Top | 75-72 | Win | 100 | 12 h 29 m | Show |
Northern Iowa @ Texas 9:50 PM ET Play On: Northern Iowa +4.5 (5*) Northern Iowa can be extremely frustrated to play against, especially for non-conference opponents who haven’t faced them before. The Panthers are adept at slowing the pace of game down to a snail’s pace. They also take care of the basketball like it’s their life savings, and are efficient on the offensive end. Case in point, Northern Iowa has committed 9 turnovers or less 17 of their previous 23 games and allowed its opponents an average of just 49 field goal attempts over their last five games. The Panthers are 12-1 in their last 13 games, 11-2 ATS during those contests, and enter the NCAA Tournament riding a six game win streak. Northern Iowa owns quality wins this season over the East Region #1 seed North Carolina, the Midwest Region #4 seed Iowa State, and defeated conference rival Wichita State twice. Texas has accomplished a lot this season under first year head coach Shaka Smart. However, they’ve gone just 4-5 in their last 9 games. The Longhorns have struggled mightily offensively over its previous three games, averaging 59.7 points per contest, and shooting an awful 37.2%. Play on Northern Iowa plus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

03-18-16 | Stephen F Austin v. West Virginia -7.5 | 70-56 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
SF Austin vs. West Virginia 7:10 PM ET Play On: West Virginia -7.5 (5*) SF Austin enters the NCAA Tournament on a 20 game winning streak. Before you get overly enthralled with that noteworthy feat, let’s consider all the facts. All of those wins during this impressive winning run has come over fellow Southland Conference opponents. That’s nothing new since SF Austin has gone an extremely dominant 59-1 over the past three seasons in conference action. When they had their opportunities this season to knock off higher profile opponents during the non-conference portion of their schedule, they failed miserably. First of all, they opened with a 42 point blowout loss at Baylor. That’s the same Baylor team that West Virginia has beaten twice this season. They also lost to Tulane, Arizona State, Northern Iowa, and UAB. The Mountaineers have gone 6-1 SU&ATS in their last seven games. Their only loss in that sequence came in the BIG-12 Conference Tournament Final against top ranked Kansas. When sifting through their results, I couldn’t find any result construed to be a bad loss. The closest they came was a 17 point defeat at unranked Florida. In their defense, that game in Gainesville came in the middle of their conference schedule, and was a part of the SEC/BIG-12 Challenge. They also beat #21 Baylor twice, #22 Iowa State twice, #7 Oklahoma, and #1 Kansas. SF Austin will face the most defensive pressure that they’ve seen all season on Friday. The Mountaineers are relentless in that regard. In their last seven games alone, West Virginia forced an average of 17.7 turnovers per contest. The Lumberjacks will also have their hands full on the boards. West Virginia possesses an impressive +8 rebound per game differential this season. Play on West Virginia minus the points for a 5* wager. |

03-18-16 | VCU -4 v. Oregon State | Top | 75-67 | Win | 100 | 21 h 54 m | Show |
Oregon State vs. VCU 1:30 PM ET Play On: VCU -4.0 (10*) I considered Oregon State to be a bubble team at best, and how the selection committee made them a #7 seed is beyond my belief system. Apparently the books are of the same opinion, as the lower seed VCU is a 4.0 point favorite at the time of this writing. One thing I can guarantee with the utmost certainty, the books are neither that generous, nor are they gracious, and especially so at this time of year. It’s just further proof of the lack of respect shown to the Atlantic 10 by the powers to be, when their regular season co champion that also advanced to it conference tournament title game, is deemed a #10 seed, and a team that finished 7th in the PAC-12. Besides my own strong feelings of VCU being the much better team in this matchup. I trust professional odds makers rational much more so then those head honchos from the NCAA. Play on VCU minus the points for a 10* Top Play selection. |

03-17-16 | Wichita State +1.5 v. Arizona | 65-55 | Win | 100 | 10 h 17 m | Show | |
Wichita State vs. Arizona 9:20 PM ET Play On: Wichita State +1.5 (5*) The NCAA Tournament selection committee didn’t do Arizona any favors by placing them in arguably the toughest region (East), and sending them cross country to Providence for an opening round game. In addition, they’ll be facing a Wichita State team that possesses ample NCAA Tournament experience. The Wildcats are still dangerous, but they’re not nearly as daunting compared to past seasons. Arizona will have a substantial size advantage in this matchup, and have been dominant on the boards on most occasions this season. However, despite being undersized, Wichita State has been one of the best rebounding teams in the country this season. There’s nothing like having experienced guards at this time of year, and Wichita State certainly has just that. Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet are both three year starters. Both players are part of a team that two years ago was a #1 season, and started the season 35-0 before being upset by Kentucky in the NCAA Tournament. Baker was a 6th man in his redshirt freshmen campaign for a Shockers team that reached “The Final Four”. Wichita State is #1 nationally in scoring defense at 59.0 points per game, #3 in field goal percentage defense (38.2%), and #13 in defensive rebounding. They’re coming off a 20 point blowout win over Vanderbilt on Tuesday. They shook off some rust after a ten day layoff, and dominated the 2nd half of that contest after leading by just 2 at the break. Play on Wichita State for a 5* wager. |

03-17-16 | Florida State v. Valparaiso -4.5 | 69-81 | Win | 100 | 7 h 4 m | Show | |
Florida State @ Valparaiso 7:00 PM ET Play On: Valparaiso -4.5 (10*) This will be a statement game for Valparaiso after being snubbed by the NCAA Tournament selection committee. They will be facing a power conference (ACC) team, and one of the rare occasions they get to do it on their own home floor. The Crusaders have gone an excellent 15-1 at home this season and are 27-6 overall. They have a quality win at Oregon State this season, and also played NCAA Tourney #1 seed Oregon extremely tough during a 6 point road loss. Florida State entered the NIT having lost 6 of their previous nine games, and was a less than astounding 9-11 in its last 20 games. They’re coming off a 10 point home win over an underachieving Davidson team in first round action. Play on Davidson minus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

03-17-16 | Butler -4 v. Texas Tech | 71-61 | Win | 100 | 12 h 4 m | Show | |
Butler vs. Texas Tech 12:40 PM ET Play On: Butler -4.0 (5*) It all comes down to the more consistent team for me in this one. Although Butler’s 22-10 record isn’t among the best in the NCAA Tournament field, they’ve been a model of consistency. The Bulldogs never lost more than two games in a row this season, and that occurred just twice. They’re coming off a 74-60 loss in the Big East Tournament Quarterfinals to Providence. Butler is 7-2 this season following a loss. They own quality wins over Purdue, Cincinnati, and also defeated Big East Tourney champ Seton Hall on two separate occasions. Texas Tech began the season 11-1, and has gone 8-11 in their last 19 games. The Red Raiders had two separate midseason losing streaks of 3 and 4 games. They also finished the season by dropping 2 of its last 3, and the last of which came as a 7.5 point favorite against BIG-12 bottom feeder TCU (12-21) in the first round of its conference tournament. They clearly are the less consistent of the two teams in this matchup. Play on Butler minus the points for a 5* wager. |

03-16-16 | UAB +9.5 v. BYU | 79-97 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 41 m | Show | |
UAB @ BYU 10:00 PM ET Play On: UAB +9.5 (5*) UAB enters the NIT with a stellar 26-6 record, and that includes going 23-3 in its last 26 games. This is an experienced team that returned all 5 starters from a season ago. They were in the NCAA Tournament a season ago, and won a game in doing so before being eliminated. The Blazers are an excellent 10-3 in true road games this season, and that includes 4-1 SU&ATS when installed as an underdog. They will have their hands full tonight by having to night on the road against a very good BYU team. However, this is a team that’s proven it can step up to the challenge when called upon, and this is way too many points to pass up. Play on UAB plus the points for a 5* wager. |

03-16-16 | Hofstra +6 v. George Washington | Top | 80-82 | Win | 100 | 8 h 35 m | Show |
Hofstra @ George Washington 8:00 PM ET Play On: Hofstra +6.0 (108) This is a Hofstra team that won’t be intimidated in the least by going on the road to face an Atlantic 10 opponent. After all, they already won at St. Bonaventure (A-10 co-champion) and LaSalle this season. Hofstra had their 8 game winning streak snapped in the Colonial Athletic Conference Championship Game in an overtime loss versus UNC-Wilmington. As a matter of fact, they’ve gone 14-4 in their previous 18 games, 3 of those losses came in overtime, and the other was by a narrow 3 point margin at home to Wilmington. Hofstra has gone a stellar 4-1 SU&ATS as an underdog in true road games. George Washington has gone just 3-3 in their last 6 home games. They’ve also gone 2-3 straight up and 1-4 ATS over their previous 5 contests. During those 5 outings, they allowed opponents to shoot an alarming 49.6%, and also convert on 40.3% of its three point shots. Play on Hofstra plus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

03-15-16 | Vanderbilt v. Wichita State -3 | 50-70 | Win | 100 | 48 h 52 m | Show | |
Vanderbilt vs. Wichita State 9:10 PM ET Play On: Wichita State -3.0 (5*) I love veteran backcourts at NCAA Tournament time, and Wichita State fits that profile like a glove. Senior Ron Baker was a 6th man on the Shockers 2013 Final Four team, and has spent the last three years as a starter that’s averaged double digits scoring in each of those seasons. Fred VanVleet is a three year starter at point guard, and spearheaded that 203-2014 Wichita State that started the season 31-0, and was ranked #1 for a good portion of the year. The Shockers got off to a disappointing 2-4 start but rebounded to go 22-4 in its last 26 games. They played a very tough non-conference schedule that included a huge 17 point win versus the PAC-12 Tourney winner Utah, and an overtime defeat at Big East champion Seton Hall. Vanderbilt has been all over the map this season in terms of consistency. Their erratic play reared its ugly head in a loss to Tennessee. That was the same team they had just beaten by 17 a week earlier. Play on Wichita State minus the small number for a 5* wager. |

03-15-16 | Long Beach State +9.5 v. Washington | 102-107 | Win | 100 | 8 h 17 m | Show | |
Long Beach State @ Washington 9:00 PM ET Play On: Long Beach State +9.5 (5*) Long Beach State is a battle tested team that played an extremely tough non-conference schedule. Included in those contests was a win over #20 Seton Hall in addition to beating a very good BYU team (23-10). They also faced the likes of #4 Virginia, #5 Oregon, #15 Arizona, and #19 Duke. As a matter of fact, they went a respectable 3-2 ATS against ranked opponents this season. The 49ers have gone 11-2 in their last 13 games overall. They came within a win of reaching the NCAA Tournament, but lost by 4 to a very good Hawaii (27-5) team in the Big West Conference Tournament Championship Game. There was a point this season that I really thought Washington could make some noise in the PAC-12. However, they’ve gone 5-9 over their last 14 games, and that includes losing 7 of its previous 10 outings. It must be noted, the Huskies sustained a 14 point home loss earlier this season to Oakland of the Horizon League, and also suffered a 4 point home defeat at the hands of UC-Santa Barbara. Play on Long Beach State plus the points for a 5* wager. |

03-15-16 | Akron +5 v. Ohio State | 63-72 | Loss | -106 | 6 h 18 m | Show | |
Akron @ Ohio State 7:00 PM ET Play On: Akron +5.0 (5*) Akron won’t be in awe of this situation. They already shown they can play with a power conference team on the road, evidence by an 8 point road win at Arkansas. They say the great equalizer for a college basketball under is their ability to knock down three point shots. Well if that indeed is the case then Akron file the profile. The Zips have made an average of thirteen three point shots per game, and converted on a stellar 38.9% of those attempts. This is a veteran laden team that’s gone an outstanding 26-8 this season. They lost in the MAC Title Game to Buffalo when the Bulls hit a tiebreaking shot with just 2 seconds left to play. Ohio State is a very young team, and that’s been evident at times by their inconsistent play. Granted the Buckeyes have played a far more difficult schedule than their opponent tonight has. However, they’ve also suffered home losses this season to the likes of Louisiana Tech and Texas-Arlington. Ohio State was 1-4 ATS over its previous five games. Play on Akron plus the points for a 5* wager. |

03-12-16 | Buffalo +4.5 v. Akron | 64-61 | Win | 100 | 6 h 32 m | Show | |
Buffalo vs. Akron 7:30 PM ET Play On: Buffalo +4.5 (5*) Buffalo has been outstanding during their first two games of the MAC Tournament in Cleveland. They defeated both Miami-Ohio and Ohio University in a relatively convincing manner, winning by 13 and 14 points. The Bulls shot 49.1% from the floor, converted on a superb 48.1% of its three point attempts, and held a huge 86-67 rebounding advantage during those two contests. They lost both regular season encounters with Akron by 4 and 10 point respectively. However, in their last meeting which was played at Akron, Buffalo held a wide 40-25 rebounding edge, and they’ll have a legitimate chance of atoning for their losses against the Zips on Saturday. Akron narrowly escaped in a 63-61 win over Eastern Michigan during their quarterfinal game. They did bounce back with a strong effort last night against the Bowling Green Falcons. That win does come with a bit of an asterisk, since that Falcons team entered MAC tourney action having lost ten of their final eleven regular season games, and were playing their third game in three days. Play on Buffalo plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Fresno State vs. San Diego State 6:00 PM ET Play On: Fresno State +4.5 Fresno State is surely a live underdog in this contest. Although San Diego State gets the majority of the acclaim in this conference, Fresno State has quietly flown under the radar despite playing outstanding basketball. The Bulldogs enter this MWC Final having won eight games in a row, in addition to capturing ten of its last eleven contests. Nobody in the Mountain West gave San Diego State a more difficult time than Fresno State. The home team won in each of their two regular season encounters, and San Diego State need overtime to come out on top when they prevailed. Play non Fresno State plus the points for a 5* wager. |

UL-Monroe vs. UT-Arlington 4:30 PM ET Play On: UL-Monroe +1.5 (5*) Arlington started the season 13-2, and knocked off some quality non-conference opponents in doing so. However, they haven’t been nearly the same time after losing 6’7 forward Kevin Hervey to a knee injury in mid January. At the time of his injury, Hervey was averaging 18.1 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game. Since he’s been out, Arlington has gone an uninspiring 10-7. They have won their last five games in a row, but each of those opponents possessed a losing record at the time. Monroe enters today’s Sun Belt Semifinal riding a nine game winning streak, in addition to going 13-1 during its last fourteen games. They’ve already defeated Arlington twice this season, and held them to a paltry 39.3% shooting in those two contests. Play on UL-Monroe for a 5* wager. |

Colorado State vs. Fresno State 11:30 PM ET Play On: Fresno State -3.5 (5*) Colorado State has won three in a row. However, they’ll be facing a red-hot Fresno State team which has won seven in a row, and is 9-1 in its last ten. The Bulldogs are coming off an impressive 95-82 win over UNLV, and that game took place right in the Rebels backyard. If any team is a legitimate threat to knock off San Diego State in the MWC Tourney it’s Fresno State. First things first, and I look for a high energy performance resulting in a comfortable win for Fresno this evening. Play on Fresno State minus the points for a 5* wager. |

03-11-16 | Georgia +1.5 v. South Carolina | 65-64 | Win | 100 | 6 h 32 m | Show | |
Georgia vs. South Carolina 9:30 PM ET Play On: Georgia +1.5 (5*) Georgia defeated South Carolina in both regular season meetings. History has shown since 1990, conference tournament favorites, playing with same season double revenge, and have a winning record, are an absolute fade. Georgia has plenty of momentum having gone 4-0 SU&ATS over their previous four games. I strongly feel that South Carolina isn’t anywhere near as good as their record indicates, and their degree of urgency doesn’t figure to be high with a NCAA Tournament bid being an absolute lock. Play on Georgia for a 5* wager. |

03-11-16 | Seton Hall +6 v. Xavier | 87-83 | Win | 100 | 5 h 16 m | Show | |
Seton Hall vs. Xavier 9:00 PM ET Play On: Seton Hall +6.0 (5*) Seton Hall has been a consistent money maker all season long. As a matter of fact, the Pirates are 12-3 ATS (80%) during its previous 15 games. They’ve also gone 10-2 straight up over their last 12 games, and their only two defeats came at the hands of Butler. Seton Hall is 2-0 ATS and 1-1 straight up versus Xavier this season so they won’t be in awe of the #5 ranked Musketeers. Play on Seton Hall plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Western Kentucky vs. Old Dominion 4:00 PM ET Play On: Western Kentucky +4.0 (10*) Western Kentucky is certainly peaking at the right time, and is unequivocally playing its best basketball of the season right now. The Hilltoppers have gone 6-1 in their previous seven games, and was a perfect 7-0 ATS in those contests. They’ve been especially good offensively over their last six games. During that stretch, they’re shooting a blistering hot 53.1%, and are averaging a robust 81.3 points per game. They’ll be playing with same season double revenge today as well. They lost both of their regular season contests to Old Dominion this season by narrow margins of 3 and 6 points. Both of those games took place before the torrid money making run that they’re currently on. Old Dominion overcompensates for some of its offensive deficiencies with a fairly high volume of second chance opportunities. They’re averaging a lofty 12 offensive rebounds per contest. They’ll be hard pressed to dominate on the offensive glass today. Western Kentucky is a +12 rebound per game differential during its previous six contests, and has limited conference opponents to just 8 offensive boards per outing. Play on Western Kentucky plus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

03-10-16 | Virginia Tech +9.5 v. Miami (Fla) | 82-88 | Win | 100 | 6 h 4 m | Show | |
Virginia Tech vs. Miami Fla. 9:30 PM ET Play On: Virginia Tech +9.5 (5*) Buzz Williams has his team playing its best basketball of the season at the most opportune time. The Hokies are 6-0 SU&ATS in their last six games, and five of those came as an underdog. They recently revenged a loss at Miami by knocking them off at home 77-62. The Hokies have shot a red-hot 49.8% and converted on a stellar 40.0% of their three point attempts over the last five games. On the other hand, Miami has shown a bit of vulnerability during their last five games, allowing opponents to shoot 46.7% and make 36.3% of their three point tries. That’s certainly a regression from its season averages in those regards. Play on Virginia Tech plus the points for a 5* wager. |

03-10-16 | Cal Poly v. UC-Irvine -6.5 | 64-84 | Win | 100 | 5 h 3 m | Show | |
Cal Poly vs. UC Irvine 9:00 PM ET Play On: UC Irvine -6.5 (5*) Irvine went 2-0 SU&ATS in two regular season meetings with Cal Poly, held them to a paltry 34.4% shooting in those contest, and shot a stellar 51.9% themselves. Irvine has played extremely well during their previous seven games, shooting a sizzling hot 54.1% and also had a +4.9 rebound per game differential. Cal Poly limps into the Big West Conference Tournament having gone a dismal 2-8 SU&ATS over its last ten games. Much of those recent struggles have been a result of poor shooting. Cal Poly has made an abysmal 36.3% of its field goal attempts over their previous nine games. Their offensive rebounding statistics are very misleading and are due in large part to erratic shooting percentage more than anything else. Play on UC-Irvine minus the points for a 5* wager. |

Texas State vs. Georgia State 8:30 PM ET Play On: Texas State +2.5 (5*) Texas State was an absolute money maker during the final stretch of regular season play. They went a perfect 6-0 ATS in their last six games, and won four of those games outright. Texas State has been stellar defensively over its previous five games, allowing just 64.4 points per game, and holding their opponents to only 38.7% shooting. Georgia State began the season by going 11-3 in their first fourteen games, but is a dismal 4-9 during the previous thirteen contests. Georgia State backers have taken a beating this season, evidenced by their team going an awful 8-19 ATS in lined games this season. Play on Texas State plus the number for a 5* wager. |

Georgia Tech vs. Virginia 7:00 PM ET Play On: Georgia Tech +10.0 (5*) Georgia Tech enters tonight’s ACC Quarterfinal with a boat load of momentum. Granted they’ll be facing what potentially will be one of four #1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament. However, they’ve gone 6-1 in their last seven games, and that includes a scintillating comeback win last night against Clemson. Georgia Tech was down 18 in that contest with just nine minutes left to play, rallied to tie the game and send it to overtime before walking away with the victory. Georgia Tech has seen 8 of their 9 ACC losses this season come by 10 points or less. They also knocked off Virginia in early January by a score of 68-64, and held a huge 39-26 rebounding advantage in that contest. All six losses sustained by Virginia this season have come in games not played at Charlottesville. Play on Georgia Tech plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Northern Illinois vs. Ohio 6:30 PM ET Play On: Ohio -3.5 (10*) Northern Illinois has put together a very good season that saw them win 21 games thus far. However, most of that success has come on its home floor where they went 18-1. They’ve lost seven in a row in games not played in DeKalb, Illinois, and that includes going 2-5 ATS. Ohio has some decent momentum heading into this MAC Tournament. They’re 7-2 in its last nine and 9-3 during their previous twelve games. As opposed to their opponent today, the Bobcats have gone 4-2 in the last six on the road. Although this tournament is being played at a neutral site, the away games data still can’t be ignored. Play on Ohio minus the points for a 10* Top Play selection. |

03-10-16 | Southeastern Louisiana +2 v. Houston Baptist | 68-73 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 10 m | Show | |
SE Louisiana vs. Houston Baptist 6:00 PM ET Play On: SE Louisiana +2.0 (5*) These are two teams that are clearly headed in opposite directions. Houston Baptist rushed out to an 8-0 start in Southland Conference play, and since that time has lost eight of its last ten. Contrarily, SE Louisiana began the season by going 3-17 in their first 20 games, and has rebounded to win nine of its last twelve, including going 5-1 during their previous six games. Despite Houston Baptist blowing out SE Louisiana 77-58 at home earlier this season, the books are undeterred by that result, and they’ve seen this as a virtual even game. Trust me when I say, they’re not doing it as a token of generosity. Play on SE Louisiana for a 5* wager. |

Holy Cross @ Lehigh 7:30 PM ET Play On: Lehigh -10.0 (5*) Lehigh has a lot working for them tonight in this Patriot League Championship Game. They’ll be playing at home, are in the midst of an eleven game win streak, and will be facing a Holy Cross team that went a dismal 10-19 during the regular season, including 5-13 in conference action. Lehigh defeated Holy Cross in both regular season meeting this season, and held the Crusaders to an abysmal 36.4% shooting in those contests. Holy Cross has shockingly won three straight games in the conference tournament as underdogs of 4.5, 9.0, and 13.5 points. They had entered the postseason losers of five in a row and twelve of its last fifteen games. Their good fortunes will come to an end tonight, and will do so in a decisive manner. Play on Lehigh minus the points for a 5* wager. |

03-09-16 | Georgia Tech +2.5 v. Clemson | 88-85 | Win | 100 | 4 h 57 m | Show | |
Georgia Tech vs. Clemson 7:00 PM ET Play On: Georgia Tech +2.5 (5*) Clemson finished the regular season by going 3-5 in its last eight games. Their three wins in that sequence included a pair of triumphs over ACC cellar dweller Boston College, and the other coming against North Carolina State. Those two teams are a combined 6-32 in ACC action this season. Georgia Tech enters this ACC Tournament matchup with plenty of momentum. They’ve gone 5-1 over its last six games. Included in those five recent victories were impressive wins over Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Florida State, and Clemson. Their only defeat during that span came by a narrow 3 point margin at #14 Louisville, and they easily covered that contest as a 12.0 point underdog. As a matter of fact, Georgia Tech went a very profitable 7-2 ATS in ACC road games. Although this isn’t a true road game, it will be played on a neutral floor, their conference road record speaks volumes in terms of the resilience and character. |

Farleigh Dickinson @ Wagner 7:00 PM ET Play On: Farleigh Dickinson +9.0 (5*) Farleigh Dickinson enters this Northeast Conference Championship game with plenty of momentum having won its last four games in a row. Unlike most conferences that play their postseason tournaments at a neutral site, that’s not the case today. FDU will have to knock off Wagner on their home floor in hopes of reaching the NCAA Tournament. On a positive not for FDU, they already captured a 3 point win at Wagner earlier this season, and that will go a long way for their confidence level heading into today’s game. They’ll be facing a Wagner team that has allowed an average of only 62.5 points per game in conference play, and held its opponents to just 39.5% shooting. However, in the two regular season meetings between these teams, FDU has averaged a sizable 78.0 points scored per game, and went 17-39 (43.6%) on their three point attempts. Needless to say, they’ve displayed the ability to expose an otherwise stingy defensive team. The betting value clearly for me clearly lies with the underdog in this matchup. Play on Farleigh Dickinson plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Denver vs. South Dakota State 9:30 PM ET Play On: Denver +10.5 (5*) Denver has been extremely efficient offensively over its last five games. During that stretch, they shot 52.1% from the field and converted on a tremendous 50.5% of its three point attempts. They also were money in those contests by going 5-0 ATS. Denver lost both of its regular season games to South Dakota by scores of 67-56 and 68-59. Denver enters tonight with a season win percentage of .533 (16-14), and South Dakota State is 24-7 this season. Any neutral court under playing with same season revenge, and they scored less than 60 points in each of those two losses, possessing a win percentage of .510 to .600, versus an opponent with a winning record, resulted in those underdogs going 38-13 (74.5%) since 1997, and the average line was +8.2.

East Tennessee State vs. UT-Chattanooga 9:00 PM ET Play On: East Tennessee State +5.0 (5*) East Tennessee State enters tonight’s Ohio Valley Conference Tournament Championship game winners of 7 games in a row, and has covered in each of its last six. They’ve been clicking on all cylinders over their previous five games, shooting a stellar 48.8%, converting on an excellent 46.1% of their three point attempts, and making 79.3% of its free throws. Contrarily, Chattanooga has shot a terrible 38.9% over its last five games, and failed to cover in any of those contests. East Tennessee State will be playing with double revenge tonight after losing both regular season meetings between these teams. They were victimized by Chattanooga going a combined 18-38 (47.3%) from beyond the three point line in those defeats. That’s highly unlikely tonight considering the Moccasins are making just 29.4% of its three point tries during their previous five games.

Miami-Ohio @ Ball State 7:00 PM ET Play On: Miami-Ohio +6.5 (5*) Momentum is certainly on the side of Miami in this first round MAC Tournament matchup. Miami finished the regular season by going 3-1 straight up and 4-0 ATS during their final four games. Their only loss in that sequence came to Ohio by a narrow 2 point margin in its season finale. During those four contests, Miami played outstanding defense, holding its opponents to just 63.8 points per game, and 39.5% shooting from the field. Miami will also be playing with same season double revenge tonight. They lost both regular season matchups against Ball State, and one of those defeats came by just 2 points on the road. Ball State has gone a less than inspiring 3-4 in its last seven home games, and is only 2-6 ATS during their previous eight at John E. Worthen Arena in Muncie, Indiana. The Cardinals finished the regular season with two straight up favorite losses against Northern Illinois and Central Michigan. Play on Miami-Ohio plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Maryland @ Indiana 4:30 PM ET Play On: Indiana -5.0 (5*) Maryland certainly will have a lot more riding on this game than Indiana, but don’t expect the Hoosiers to just lay down and hand it over to them. Indiana has already clinched to conference regular season title and a #1 seed in the Big Ten Tournament. However, it’s senior day in Bloomington, and they’ve gone a perfect 16-0 at Assembly Hall this season, and that includes a very profitable 11-5 (69%) ATS. Maryland needs a win to secure a top four seed and a first round bye in the conference tournament. However, the Terrapins have gone just 2-4 in its last six road games.

Fresno State @ Utah State 9:00 PM ET Play On: Fresno State +3.5 (5*) Utah State has won their last two games over Air Force and San Jose State. Prior to those victories, they had struggled through a 2-7 nine game stretch. Putting those last two recent wins into perspective, they came against the bottom two teams in the Mountain West Conference standings. Air Force and San Jose State are a combined 8-26 (.235) in games against conference opponents this season. Fresno State comes into tonight’s game with plenty of momentum. The Bulldogs have won five straight and seven of its last eight games. During their recent five game win streak, Fresno State is averaging 79.4 points scored per game, shot 48.2%, and made an outstanding 41.9% of their three point attempts.

They’ve lost five of its last six games, and is shooting just 39.0% in their previous five games. Lafayette was 11-0 at home this season before going 0-2 SU&ATS in the last two. Georgia Southern will be playing with revenge stemming from a 9 point home loss to UL-Lafayette earlier this season. Since that defeat, they’ve gone 10-6 straight up, and an extremely profitable 13-3 ATS. Georgia Southern has converted on 38.9% of its three point attempts, held its opponents to 66.4 points per game, and limited them to 40.5% shooting over their previous five contests.

Charleston @ NC-Wilmington 6:00 PM ET Play On: NC-Wilmington -4.5 (5*) Charleston was able to snap a four game losing streak with a narrow 4 point win yesterday versus a terrible Delaware team. They didn’t come close to covering that contest as an 11.0 point favorite. Charleston has been offensively anemic over their last five games, averaging just 60.2 points per contest and shooting an awful 36.3%. Wilmington is the class of the Colonial Athletic Conference in my opinion. They’ve gone 13-2 in its last 15, 17-4 during their previous 21 games and defeated Charleston twice already this season. Play on NC-Wilmington minus the points for a 5* wager. |

Missouri State vs. Evansville 7:00 PM ET Play On: Evansville -13.5 (5*) Missouri State nearly squandered a 10 point halftime lead last night to a Drake teams which had lost 20 of its previous 23 games, and managed to escape with a nerve racking 2 point victory. They won’t be so fortunate tonight against a well rested Evansville team. The Aces are a veteran team that had all 5 starters returning from a team that won the 2015 College Insiders Tournament. They know what it takes to win at postseason time, and should dispose of an inferior Missouri State team in a resounding fashion. Play on Evansville minus the points for a 5* wager. |

Ball State @ Northern Illinois 7:00 PM ET Play On: Northern Illinois -1.0 (5*) You may be surprised to know that Northern Illinois has gone 16-1 at home this season, including 7-1 SU&ATS in conference home games, and will be out to capture their 20th win this evening. The Huskies have been terrific defensively on their home floor, allowing 63.6 points per game, and holding opponent to a paltry 37.3% shooting. They also possess an impressive +10 rebound per game differential at home. They’ll be out to avenge a 63-59 road loss to Ball State earlier this season. They lost that game by that narrow of a margin despite shooting an awful 31.6%. That’s highly unlikely to occur this time around. Play on Northern Illinois for a 5* wager. |

Ohio @ Miami-Ohio 7:00 PM ET Play On: Miami-Ohio +2.5 (5*) Despite having nothing to play for besides pride, Miami has shown a boat load of character in how they’re playing out the final stretch of this season. They’ve gone 3-0 SU&ATS in their last three contests and won by an average of 10.0 points per game. Miami has also gone a very profitable 4-1 SU&ATS in its last five home games. Ohio recently went through a successful 5-0 SU&ATS stretch, and since then have lost two of its last three. The Bobcats are 0-2 SU&ATS this season as a conference road favorite, and lost by an average of 8.0 points per game. Miami will also be out to avenge a 76-64 loss at Ohio in the first meeting this season between these two teams. Play on Miami-Ohio for a 5* wager. |

03-03-16 | Stanford +2.5 v. Arizona State | 64-74 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
Stanford @ Arizona State 11:00 PM ET Play On: Stanford +2.5 (5*) Arizona State has fallen on hard times of late, on and off the court. They’ve gone 0-4 SU&ATS in their last four contests and lost by a massive average of 24.0 points per game. They recently had an assistant coach arrested on a DUI charge, and had a player leave the team due to a falling out with head coach Bobby Hurley. During this four game losing streak, Arizona State has allowed 84.3 points per contest, opponents have shot a combined 50.9%, and they compiled a horrible -11 rebound per game differential. Arizona has also allowed six of their previous eight opponents to shoot 49% or better. Contrarily, they’ve converted on a horrible 35.4% of its field goal attempts during this current losing slide. On the other hand, Stanford is playing very well in recent games, going 4-1 SU&ATS in its previous five contests. During that time, Stanford has shot 47.9%, converted on a superb 42.7% of their three point attempts, and had a +3.5 rebound per game differential. Play on Stanford for a 5* wager. |

Drake vs. Missouri State 9:30 PM ET Play On: Missouri State -2.0 (5*) Drake has gone 3-20 during its last 23 games, and went 2-16 in Missouri Valley action. Missouri State is far from a good team, but they did manage to go 8-10 in the MVC, and that included 2-0 SU&ATS versus Drake. I do believe that Missouri State’s large experience advantage over Drake will pay dividends in this MVC Tournament first round matchup. Play on Missouri State for a 5* wager. |

Georgia Southern @ UL-Monroe 8:00 PM ET Play On: UL-Monroe -8.5 (5*) Monroe will be playing with big time revenge stemming from a 15 point loss at Georgia Southern earlier this season. The books seem undeterred by that result opening line and current point spread. After all, Monroe is a perfect 11-0 at home this season, and that includes an extremely profitable 8-1 ATS in lined games. The Warhawks also enter tonight’s game having won seven straight and are 11-1 in its last twelve games. The last four of those wins came on the road, and during those contests they allowed a paltry 57.0 points per outing and limited their opponents to just 33.6% shooting. That’s not good news for a Georgia Southern team which has shot 38.9% or less in four of its last five game. Monroe shot horrible in that earlier loss at Georgia Southern. Don’t expect that to occur again, Monroe has shot 51.7% and converted on an excellent 43.1% of their three points at home this season. Play on UL-Monroe minus the points for a 5* selection. |

03-02-16 | Oregon State +5.5 v. USC | 70-81 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
Oregon State @ USC 11:00 PM ET Play On: Oregon State +5.5 (5*) After getting off to a 15-3 overall start, including 4-1 in PAC-12 action, USC has fallen from grace over the past month. Since that time, the Trojans are 4-7 straight up, 1-5 SU&ATS during its previous six, and 0-3 SU&ATS during their last three games. As a matter of fact, they lost those last three by a sizable average of 17.7 points per game. Playing defense has been an afterthought for the Trojans of late. During their last five outings, USC is allowing 81.8 points per game, and opponents have shot 49.0% while converting 38.3% of its three point attempts. In addition, they possess a terrible -6 rebound per game differential over those previous five contests. Oregon State has won their last two and has gone 5-2 in its last seven games. In doing so, they’ve given themselves a realistic opportunity to attain a NCAA Tournament at-large bid. Considering they can become the first Beavers team in 26 years to achieve that accomplishment, their sense of urgency during these final two regular season games borders on desperation. However, you need to win the first game before you can come out on top twice. The Beavers clearly have an advantage in terms of momentum and confidence compared to tonight’s opponent. They also proved they can more than hold their own against USC. They defeated the Trojans in Corvallis already by a decisive 85-70 score, and that 15 point final margin isn’t indicative of how much they dominated in that contest. Play on Oregon State plus the points for a 5* wager. |

03-01-16 | Baylor +7.5 v. Oklahoma | 71-73 | Win | 100 | 4 h 7 m | Show | |
Baylor @ Oklahoma 8:00 PM ET Play On: Baylor +7.5 (5*) Oklahoma has struggled down the final stretch of regular season action. The Sooners are 2-3 in its last five and 3-4 during their previous seven games. After being one of the best shooting teams in the country for most of the season, Oklahoma’s perimeter game has abandoned them a bit of late, and that factor can be directly linked to their recent inconsistencies. The Sooners have shot less than 40% in four of their last five games. The Baylor Bears have been road warriors in BIG-12 play. After losing their initial conference road game, Baylor has gone 6-1 SU&ATS in its next seven, and that includes 3-0 SU&ATS during their previous three. Unlike Tuesday’s opponent, Baylor has shot the ball extremely well of late. During their previous five games, they’re shooting 49.0%, and have converted on an exceptional 43.5% of its three point attempts. They’ve also compiled an extremely impressive +10 rebound per game differential over those last five contests. Play on Baylor plus the points for a 5* wager. |

03-01-16 | Tennessee v. Vanderbilt -12.5 | 69-86 | Win | 100 | 3 h 8 m | Show | |
Tennessee @ Vanderbilt 7:00 PM ET Play On: Vanderbilt -12.5 (5*) Tennessee is unlikely to have leading scorer Kevin Punter (22.3 PPG) for the fourth straight game. Punter continues to recover from a stress fracture sustained to his foot. Guard Robert Hubbs (10.8 PPG) missed the last game with a knee injury, and he’s listed as questionable for Tuesday’s contest. That’s not good news for a Tennessee team which has struggled mightily with their shooting over the past five weeks. They’ve shot 39.1% or less in six of its last seven, and eight of their previous ten games. The Volunteers have shot 38.2% or less in each of their last five road games. Speaking of road woes, Tennessee is 1-10 in true road games this season. Vanderbilt has had no such problems offensively of late, shooting 47.5% and converting 38.5% of its three point attempts over their last five games. During those contests they’ve also compiled an impressive +10.8 rebound per game differential. The Commodores are coming off outright underdog wins in their last two games versus Florida and Kentucky. Vanderbilt defeated Tennessee in Knoxville six weeks ago quite easily by a score of 88-74, and out-rebounded the Volunteers by a wide margin of 48-33. Play on Vanderbilt minus the points for a 5* wager. |

03-01-16 | Virginia v. Clemson +4.5 | 64-57 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 7 m | Show | |
Virginia @ Clemson 7:00 PM ET Play On: Clemson +4.5 (5*) Virginia enters the final week of regular season action entangled in a four way battle for ACC Supremacy. They’re last two games have been against North Carolina and Miami. Those are two of the four teams contending for the top spot. The other is Louisville, and Virginia will host the Cardinals in their season finale. Sandwiched between those three contests is Tuesday’s game at Clemson, and this appears to be a very dangerous spot for the Cavaliers. In addition, Virginia is just 3-5 in ACC road games this season. Clemson still has their eye on a possible NCAA Tournament at-large-bid. A win against #4 ranked Virginia tonight would go a long way toward building their case. The Tigers have gone 7-1 in ACC home games this season, and that includes 4-0 SU&ATS when installed as an underdog. They’ve been stout defensively on their home floor, allowing just 57.8 points per game, holding opponents to a paltry 38.2% shooting, and that always bodes well for a team in an underdog role. Play on Clemson plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Oklahoma State @ Iowa State 7:00 PM ET Play On: Iowa State -13.0 (5*) Oklahoma State is 0-4 SU&ATS in their previous four games and lost by a lofty average of 18.3 points per contest. The Cowboys are a dismal 0-8 in conference road games this season, and were outscored by an average of 14.2 points per outing. Oklahoma State has been anemic offensively in recent outings, scoring 61 points or less in seven of its previous eight games, and shot less than 40% on five of those occasions. They’ve also allowed opponents to make an alarming 44.9% of their three point attempts over its last five games. Contrarily, Iowa State has averaged 87.0 points per game, shot 53.2%, and converted on an excellent 42.6% of their three point attempts during its last five contests. Despite Iowa State having some obvious rebounding flaws, due to a relatively undersized front line, they should have issues tonight against Oklahoma State. The Cowboys have a pathetic -13 rebound per game differential during its last five outings. Play on Iowa State minus the points for a 5* wager. |

USC @ California 8:00 PM ET Play On: California -8.0 (5*) Although there’s little difference in each of these teams overall records, they’re clearly two clubs going in opposite directions. USC enters today have gone 1-4 in their last five games overall, and 0-5 during its previous five road contests. California is a perfect 17-0 at home this season, and has gone an exceptional 12-5 ATS (70.6%) during those outings. As a matter of fact, they’re 5-0 ATS in their last five played in Berkley.

They should have no excuses today against a pathetic Washington State team which has lost 14 in a row, and went a money draining 3-11 ATS during that stretch. The Cougars have been anemic offensively of late, scoring 64 points or less in seven of their previous eight games, and are a terrible -8.5 rebound per game differential in its last five outings.

They’ve been outstanding defensively during that stretch, holding opponents to 37.5% shooting, and also had a +8 rebound per game differential. They’ll be out to avenge a 9 point loss at Colorado State earlier this season. Colorado State has dropped four straight on the road, and failed to cover on three of those occasions.

They still remain to the proverbial NCAA Tournament bubble, and can ill afford any bad losses from this point on. They’ll be facing an Arizona State team today which has been absolutely brutal in recent games. The Sun Devils are 0-3 SU&ATS in its last three contests, and has lost by an average of 29.7 points per game. They’ve also gone a dismal 1-6 in conference road games this season, with their only win coming against last place Washington State. Colorado will have a huge advantage on the boards and with their three point shooting prowess in this matchup. Play on Colorado minus the points for a 5* wager. |

02-27-16 | Gonzaga v. BYU -2.5 | 71-68 | Loss | -102 | 7 h 31 m | Show | |
Gonzaga @ BYU 8:00 PM ET Play On: BYU -2.5 (5*) This is a huge game for two teams that are on the proverbial NCAA Tournament bubble. However, I think home court advantage will be the deciding difference in the outcome of this contest. BYU has gone 14-1 at home this season, and dating back to a year ago, the Cougars are an extremely profitable 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games played in Provo. BYU is currently third in the MCC standing, and is just 1.0 game behind second place Gonzaga. BYU won at Gonzaga earlier this season, and with a win tonight would possess the tiebreaker against the Bulldogs. BYU has been terrific on both sides of the floor over its last five contests, and also possesses a huge +7.6 rebound per game differential during that time. Gonzaga is just 2-2 in their last four games, and has already been swept in their two encounters with first place St. Mary’s. Play on BYU for a 5* wager. |

Wyoming @ UNLV 8:00 PM ET Play On: Wyoming +9.5 (5*) UNLV has gone 3-5 straight up and 2-6 ATS during its last eight games. One of those two covers came as a 5.5 point favorite versus Nevada, and they needed overtime in order to do so. Wyoming has played extremely well on the offensive end of the floor of late. During its previous five outings, they’ve shot a stellar 49.0%, and converted on an excellent 44.4% of its three point attempts. The great equalizer for a college basketball underdog is the ability to connect on three-point shots with a high degree of regularity, and Wyoming fits that exact profile based on recent performances. Wyoming can also draw confidence from the fact that they’ve already defeated UNLV 59-57 during an earlier meeting, and did so despite shooting just 34.0% in that contest. That was against a UNLV team which was much healthier at that time than they currently are. Play on Wyoming plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Rice @ Louisiana Tech 7:00 PM ET Play On: Rice +9.0 (5*) Rice is playing their best basketball of the season right now. The Owls began the season by going a dismal 6-14 overall, and 1-6 in Conference USA action. Since that time, Rice has gone 6-2, and that includes entering today’s contest on a four game winning streak. They’ve been extremely efficient on the offensive end of the floor of late, averaging 80.0 points per game, shooting 51.4%, and converting on a superb 41.9% of its three point attempts. Rice will also be out to avenge a 90-78 home loss to Louisiana Tech during the first week of February. Louisiana Tech has been unimpressive in their last two games. During their previous contest, they escaped with an overtime win as a 10.5 point home favorite against North Texas. That contest was preceded by a 91-80 loss at UTEP. Another significant concern for the Bulldogs has been their poor free throw shooting during recent contests. They’ve gone just 63.4% from the charity stripe over its previous five outings. As I’ve stated on several occasions this season, sizable favorites which shoot that poorly at the free throw line, leave themselves wide open for a back door cover by underdogs. That’s especially the case when they’re facing a red-hot three point shooting opponent like Rice currently is. Play on Rice plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Kentucky @ Vanderbilt 4:00 PM ET Play On: Vanderbilt +2.0 (5*) In my opinion, Vanderbilt has been one the five most underachieving teams in college basketball. However, the flip side to that equation is that they’re capable of being anyone in the country on any given day, and especially so at home where they’ve won six straight. This appears to be that type of situation today against a much heralded opponent which has long been a SEC benchmark for success. Truth be told, you may be surprised to know that Kentucky is an uninspiring 3-6 in true road games this season. Play on Vanderbilt for a 5* wager. |

The Boilermakers are a stellar 15-1 at home this season, and that includes winning six straight in West Lafayette, Indiana. Purdue is an excellent defensive and rebounding team. That should pay large dividends today against a 10th ranked Maryland team which is 2-3 in Big Ten road games. Play on Purdue minus the points for a 5* selection. |

Louisville @ Miami 2:00 PM ET Play On: Miami -3.0 (5*) Miami has been very good at home this season, going 14-1 at home, and an extremely profitable 11-3 ATS in games in which there was a line posted. As a matter of fact, they’ve won 12 straight on their own floor since an inexplicable early season loss to Northeastern, and are a perfect 8-0 in ACC home games. Louisville’s depth at their interior positions has been a bit depleted due to injuries sustained over the past month. The Cardinals are a mediocre 3-3 in ACC road games this season, and their 2016 postseason ban due to NCAA rules violations is weighing heavily on them at this juncture.

The Colonials will be in urgent mode since they’re still considered to be on the NCAA Tournament bubble. GW is a terrific +8.8 rebound per game differential over their previous five outings, and also made a stellar 41.9% of their three point shots during that time frame. VCU has lost each of its last two away games, and were a sizable favorite in both contests. Those defeats came at the hands of Massachusetts as an 11.5 point favorite, and George Mason as an 11.0 point chalk. The Rams also sustained a setback at home against GW earlier this season.

Marshall @ UAB 8:00 PM ET Play On: Marshall +7.5 (5*) Let me get this right out of the way. I don’t have anything negative to say about an experienced UAB team which has a 22-5 overall record, and is a perfect 14-0 at home this season. It’s more that I like how this situation sets up for the road underdog with all things being considered. Marshall enters tonight just 1.0 game behind UAB for the Conference USA lead. The Thundering Herd began the season 0-6, and since then has gone 15-6 in its last twenty-one games. As a matter of fact, they’ve gone 4-0 SU&ATS during their previous four games, and won by an average of 13.3 points per contest. They will be out for revenge as well, stemming from a 81-78 home loss to UAB, and that contest ended in somewhat of a controversial manner to boot. Marshall is a dynamic offensive team, and that’s been especially apparent of late. They’ve averaged 96.4 points per game, shot 50.8%, and converted on a superb 41.3% of its three point attempts over their last five outings. Play on Marshall plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Despite shooting a miserable 35.2% from the floor in that contest, Hofstra had a chance to win right up until the final horn. Hofstra enters tonight riding a four game win streak, and has really clicked offensively during that stretch, averaging 78.0 points per contest, and shooting a stellar 47.9%. The Pride has also played the tougher non-conference schedule compared to Thursday’s opponent. They possess quality wins over Florida State and St. Bonaventure. Both of those teams are currently on the proverbial NCAA Tournament bubble as possible at-large invitees. Wilmington has gone 11-1 at home this season, but is only 3-6 ATS in the contests which had a line. The Seawolves have struggled offensively in their previous three games, shooting an uninspiring 38.9%. Play on Hofstra plus the points for a 5* wager. |

During their last five contests, Wisconsin has converted on an outstanding 42.3% of its three point attempts, and allowed opponents only an average of 14 free throw attempts per outing. Iowa has lost two of their last three games, including being upset 79-75 as a 9.0 point favorite at Penn State last Saturday. Asking the Hawkeyes to cover this sizable number, versus an opponent that’s been playing well for an extended period of time appears to be an extremely difficult task.

Arizona @ Colorado 9:00 PM ET Play On: Colorado +5.0 (5*) Colorado has gone a stellar 14-1 on its home floor this season. Their lone defeat came by a slim 2 point margin at the hands of #21 Utah. The Buffaloes are a very good three point shooting team at 39.4% this season, and are an even better 41.6% when playing in Boulder. Colorado is pretty much the only PAC-12 team that possesses an ability to match Arizona’s dominant rebounding statistics. They’ve been terrific defensively at home as well, limiting opponents to a paltry 39.9% shooting. Arizona has been on a nice roll of late. However, they’ve been far from invincible in conference road games, going a mediocre 4-3 in those contests. If there’s been a flaw in Arizona’s game of late, it has been their ability to defend opponent’s three-point shooting. The Wildcats opponents during their last five games have converted on an alarming 38.3% of its long distance attempts. Play on the Colorado Buffaloes plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Mississippi State @ Texas A&M 7:00 PM ET Play On: Mississippi State +12.0 (5*) Texas A&M is coming off an emotional buzzer beater win over Kentucky this past Saturday. After going through a 0-4 SU&ATS stretch, they’ve now bounced back to win their last two games. It’s highly improbable that the Aggies can come close to matching the emotional intensity tonight that they displayed against Kentucky. After all, they’ll be facing a second tier SEC opponent. That’s not to suggest I’m going out on a limb and predicting an outright upset. However, the double digit number they’ll be asked to cover will be a very tall order with all being considered. Texas A&M has been horrible with their free throw shooting of late, converting on only 62.9% of its attempts over its previous five contests. That can certainly come into play tonight, and especially so if they’re asked to protect a late lead by converting free throws. Mississippi State has a less than impressive 5-9 record in SEC play, but they won’t be lacking for confidence this evening. The Bulldogs have won three of its last four games, including a win 67-61 as a 6.0 point underdog at Alabama on Saturday. They’ve played very well on the defensive end in recent games, limiting opponents to a combined 40.7% shooting during its last five outings. Mississippi State also will be playing with revenge stemming from a narrow 1 point loss to Texas A&M in early January. They covered that game easily as a 7.0 point underdog, and held the Aggies to a paltry 30.6% shooting. Play on Mississippi State plus the points for a 5* wager. |
